2. I don't think the repugs in Congress understand logic, but
they sure think they understand 9/11.

3. More people die every MONTH from lack of health care than died on 9/ll
If we accept the datum that over 42,000 people die needlessly from lack of health care each year, that is over 3.500 each month.

4. Sounds like it's time to Photoshop Bin Laden....

..... and make him look like he's wearing a "United Health Care" or an "Aetna" tee shirt.

Sure, it's wrong but it's what THEY would do.

5. Great idea. Are you listening Swamp Rat?
Why do you think it would be wrong, Clio?

This is what marketing people do everyday. The American people are bombarded every day with thousands of ads of lesser taste and greater meaninglessness and falsity.

I think Osama Bin Ladin wearing a tee shirt saying United Health Care, and perhaps Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wearing a tee shirt sporting Wellpoint, or some such images, would be expressive.
